Infinite Jukebox - Pushing Rope Lyrics

Well I met her at the hoedown she was pretty as could be
We danced under the moonlight pullin' her close to me
My heart was gallopin' wild like a mustang breaking from the ranks
But by the end of the night I was a-shootin' blanks

I'm pushing rope a lasso without a loop
Tried to ride the rodeo but I've hollered my last whoop
She was ready for the roundup but I was just all talk
All hat no cattle I couldn't walk the walk

I was as limp as the prairie grass in a hail storm

She had eyes that sparkled like stars in the western sky
And every dance with her my hopes began to rise
But when we got alone my spurs they wouldn't spin
Found myself a cowboy that couldn't rope her in

I'm pushing rope no cowboy's tale to boast
At the hoedown showdown I was less when she needed most
Thought I was the sheriff but I lost my badge tonight
Left holding just my hat all soft when it came to the fight

Soft as a saddle in the rain

Oh I've wrangled bulls and I've tamed wild steeds
But this one time I couldn't meet her needs
Guess every cowboy sometimes finds
The size of the bull is just in his own mind

Next time I see her gonna prove I'm not just smoke
No more whiskey no more shots next time I won't choke
Gonna show her I'm the stallion I claimed to be before
Next hoedown she'll see there's a hero not an empty drawer

Till then I'm pushing rope it's a cowboy's cry
A night started wild left hanging low and dry
Next time we're dancing I'll finish more than her hopes
No more flopping I'll be slinging the full rope

So here's to the lessons that come hard and steep
Next hoedown I'll be the cowboy she'll wanna keep
No more pushing rope gonna get loose from my pen
With my lady by my side I'll ride again!

With my lady by my side I'll ride again!!

With my lady by my side I'll ride again!!
